Michael Casinelli, the consultant who prepared the All-Star economic forecast, said he stands by his work. But he acknowledged that city-by-city breakdowns of spending are less likely to be accurate than estimates for the entire region.
Economics professors have said that number is too high, but the head of the local Super Bowl host committee said he was not concerned because the Texas comptroller's office has verified most of the study.
That means the All-Star Game would have accounted for 62 percent of car rentals at the airports in February. Casinelli, founder of Marketing Information Masters, said benefits could have been more widespread than he expected, perhaps lessening the spending boost to some cities and increasing it in others. He said it's difficult to research an event never before held here at a venue open less than a year. The comparisons are not precise between what Casinelli estimated on behalf of the NBA All-Star Game local organizing committee and the reported tax dollars.
Although most spending probably occurred over that long weekend, the study includes money generated in the two months leading up to the game. That could include site visits by NBA staff and broadcast crews and people preparing for parties and fundraisers. The hotel numbers are also missing revenue from the smallest hotels, which account for a small percentage of the city's total.
The Texas comptroller's office reviews the economic impact figures and sets the amounts of tax refunds to cities and host committees from the Major Events Trust Fund. Officials with the comptroller said they are now requesting some of the Dallas NBA All-Star host committee's data to see the projections lived up to reality.
This is a new step that was added to the comptroller's responsibilities during the last legislative session, said Robert Wood, the agency's director of local government assistance and economic development.
Hotel revenue figures compiled by the comptroller give the closest comparisons to spending estimates in the NBA All-Star report. The story was the same in other cities in the All-Star report. The projection for Arlington would account for 75 percent of that city's hotel revenue for February.
In Fort Worth, it was more than 40 percent; in Irving, nearly 30 percent; and in Grapevine, 17 percent. The study included spending breakdowns for cities with All-Star events or blocks of rooms reserved by the NBA. But he said that he doesn't have any indications the estimates were wrong.
